Excuse me but can you please direct me to the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles?

Wow.... I never even thought of Dawnstar as a potential herald of Galactus but that would make so much sense! Plus if chosen she would get a power ampage (probably incredible strength and added invulnerability for space).
quote:Originally posted by MLLASH: I would also make a smiliar argument for Matter-Eater Lad who was all over the Super-titles during all that Krypton/20th century Espionage Squad/hijinks-mess-- exposing him to more comicbook readers than had seen him in probably since the TMK era... and then he promptly and uncerimoniously disappeared once Mr. Levitz launched # 1.
I think Paul does it because Tenzil and Lar are hard to write for because they're on the opposite end of the power spectrum. But BOTH of them have been shown to be effective players if handled right. Tenzil as a HQ support staff, lawyer or teacher have all been done well and he's a great personality, majorly superior to some of the more powerful and scenic legionnaires.

I'd be for that, IF, a BIG if, that's what was planned. But like Double Chinner said, Paul's history with Lar, and Tenzil, is very bad.
quote:Originally posted by Matthew E: I'm surprised anybody really thinks Mon-El's being written out of the Legion. You know he'll be back, right? Mon-El himself said almost as much.
Yeah, like he was 'back' in the other pre-boot stories. Seeing him in a panel or two every few years isn't a very good 'back' to me.
And THIS Lar wasn't supposed to be the weaker, angst ridden hero he was in the original boot. Cham told him before he went into the Zone, that he would have friends waiting for him when he got out, friends and a good life.
Just because a writer wasn't part of a development doesn't mean it's okay to just trash everything. And Levitz has gone out of his way to undo John's and Robinson's work. I've found that to be very frustrating, much more so than Nura's hair.

Do power rings have time travel capabilities? I seem to recall they did but I wouldn't put money on it.

Generally, they seem to have 'do whatever the wielder can imagine' capabilities, up until they slam into plot restrictions. And Brainy can imagine more than most...

I love that in the cartoon, Time Bubble tech seems to be something that every Legionnaire just carries around with them. Y'know, like a wallet or a set of car keys. In the Season Two opener, you can see Phantom Girl lending her tech to Brainy. It looks sort of like an air freshener with B5's head-markings on it.
You'd also have to hope that kids in the future get really rigorous psych profiling and hours of training before they're allowed to carry that kind of thing around. Oh, and since Legionnaires don't seem to have pockets or tote bags, you can only assume that the tech flattens out immediately once it's tucked neatly between your skin surface and your costume. Sort of like Cap's shield did when he strapped it to his back under his civilian clothes.

Oops, Matter-Eater Lad just accidentally destroyed the time-space continuum again!
Gosh, no wonder there's a Time Trapper, and an Iron Curtain of Time! Those darn Legionnaires keep breaking the world!

Still wanting to know what the Legionnaires with pouches keep in those pouches. Handcuffs, to bind prisoners? Expandable survival shelters, in case they get caught in a hostile environment with civilians to protect? Snacks? Spare change? Galactic Express Inerton Card, don't leave home without it? Spell components? Multi-purpose lotion? Tsotches? Sprockets?

Ditto Iron Man's armor or Angel's wings. (Ouchie! Doesn't that hurt?)
And we still don't know where Connor McLeod kept that katana hidden away when he was wearing on a short jacket... o.O

Maybe you could start a thread just for this.
